Singularity
Singularity is a first person shooter by Raven, who are best known for their X-Men Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance action RPGs. Since then they’ve been branching out, first with the X-Men Origin’s Wolverine title which was a single play action title, but still didn’t reach out too much further from what they had done [...]
Alpha Protocol
Alpha Protocol is the next in the increasingly popular FPS/RPG genre. The game is developed by Obsidian, and is really their chance to shine as a IP creator. A chance they’ve never had before as they’ve always been left creating sequels to Bioware’s popular games which never quite live up to the originals (Star Wars: [...]

Super Street Fighter 4
The followup to Street Fighter 4 is here. I don’t think many can argue that Street Fighter 4 is the most influential fighting game of this generation. Like Street Fighter 2 before it, SF4 caused a huge resurgence in the fighting genre. Now if you were a gamer during the original Street Fighter 2 era, [...]
Samurai Showdown Sen – Xbox 360
I had no expectations for the Samurai Showdown sequel for the 360. The biggest implication was that I heard absolutely nothing about it. Aside from a couple of whispers I had no idea it was coming out, I’d even heard more about the upcoming Battle Arena Toshinden for Wii. When there’s that little press, it’s [...]
